Our only disappointment with the hotel was that the reservations were for an ocean view room but instead we overlooked the parking lot. The hotel was clean, easily accessible, and included a parking which is definitely needed. The Kennebunk area is very busy and in town driving could be hectic. Reservations for dinning and probably anything else should be done in advance.

Staff is disinterested and entitled. No actual Beach at the beach house. Beautiful view/Rocky Shoreline, but no beach. No restaurants or other amenities in walking distance. No place to get any food. The beach house doesn’t even serve muffins/or even the most minimal continental breakfast. The coffee and tea isn’t bad. For $500 a night I think it’s a bit of a rip off.

This property is truly lovely. We were able to sit in our room or on the patio and watch the ocean. It's quiet and comfortable and a short walk from the beach. However, it's not within walking distance of amenities which is it's only drawback. Despite that, we're already planning to go back!

Everything was great. The reception person was helpful and offered info about parking in the town and about the beaches. The room was spacious and the bedding was very comfortable. My only suggestion is that the room had the only mirrors in the bathroom. A mirror in the outside bedroom area is helpful, especially with a bathroom that is on the smaller side.

Amazing getaway!

The Beach House has a very B&B feel - someone is always near the front door to answer questions and provide various little amenities that you might need. The guest rooms are super comfortable and the beds are even more comfortable. There is 24-hour coffee available and it's excellent! Most of all, sitting out front on the Adirondack chairs, or on the front porch, drinking your coffee (or beverage of your choice) and watching the ocean as people walk their dogs past the house was one of our favorite things about our stay! And if it's a little too chilly out there, the well-appointed living room has beautiful picture windows with the same view. Awesome place to relax or come home to.
